In the heat of the night Seems like a cold sweat Creepin' 'cross my brow, yeah
In the heat of the night I'm feelin' motherless somehow Stars with evil eyes stare from the skies All mean and bright (In the heat of the night)
Ain't a woman yet been born Knows how to make the mornin' come It's so hard to keep control When I could sell my soul for just a little light (In the heat of the night)
I've got trouble wall to wall Oh yes, I have I repeat, I repeat, in the night Must be an ending to it all
Oh Lord, it won't be long Just you be strong And it'll be alright (In the heat of the night)
